Here we are again! Today is April 24, 2025. If everything has gone as planned it is also the day I get my new hip, so today’s blog and those that follow were written a few days ago. I know the spirit of the blog challenge is to actually write and post a blog item each day, but sometimes life gets in the way, and this is one of those times.
So, here I am anticipating going under the knife to have my right hip replaced. Am I nervous? Yes! Am I anxious? Of course, but more than anything else, I’m in a state of flux, because I am amazed at what medicine can do these days.
Today’s letter is U, and to me, at this moment in time it stands for undergo. I am about to undergo surgery to replace my hip joint.
They say knowledge is power. I’m going in with as much knowledge as I can get, aware of the dangers as well as what will be needed for my recovery. Here’s hoping everything goes well!
The song for today:
Seriously, sometimes humor is the best medicine! Come back tomorrow for the letter V. Here’s the MASTER LIST https://tinyurl.com/tauke86z
Hi! I live in Eastern Ontario. I'm married with three adult children and five wonderful grandchildren.
I prefer warm weather, and sunshine but winter gives me time to write.
If I’m listening to music, it will be something from the 1960s or 1970s.
I enjoy action movies, romantic comedies, but I draw the line at slasher flicks and horror. I love science fiction and fantasy as well.
I love to read; I immerse myself in the text and, as my husband says, the house could fall down around me, and I’d never notice. My preferences are as varied as there are genres, but nothing really beats a good romance, especially one that is filled with suspense. I love historical romance too, and have read quite a few of those.
If I’m watching television, you can count on it being a suspense — I’m not a fan of reality TV, sit-coms, or game shows.
Writing gives me the most pleasure. I love creating characters that become real and undergo all kinds of adventures. It never ceases to amaze me how each character can take on its own unique personality; sometimes, they grow very different from the way I pictured them!
Inspiration comes from all around me; imagination has no bounds. If I can think it, imagine it, I can write it!

Praying for you and your med team that all goes smoothly! 💞💞💞
I actually wrote all mine ahead….because, ya know, life gets in the way sometimes. At least with the scheduling tool we can ensure we do the post a day!
There’s no rule to write and publish each day. In fact, that’s a good way for me to drive myself crazy! I wrote all of them ahead but I’m finding these last ones need to be tweeked before they’re published.
Candle lit for your surgery! Look forward to you skipping around in six months!

It is so amazing how they replace the hip and knees. I have had both knees done and it was the best thing I ever did. I hope you feel better soon.
